Bountygate, 2009: Everyone seems to have forgotten about this. Shortly after the season, it came to light that New Orleans Saints` defense had a Camping Hiking Outdoor Travel Funny Vintage Bear Attack Tip shirt system going, based on who could deliver the worst hit to an opposing player. The bounty increased depending on which player it was (QBs were prime targets) and the given defensive player would win more money if his hit required the player to leave the game. The Saints went on to win the Super Bowl that year.

NFL players are unlikely to make the switch the other way, although New England Patriots special team player Nate Ebner has played in the Olympics for the USA Rugby Union Sevens team (7 aside rugby is a simpler and faster game compared to the full 15 man version of Union), Nate actually grew up playing rugby at age group level for the USA too, and only took up American Football later. The simple reason the switch is less likely to occur from pro to pro is that wages are far higher in the NFL. Rugby Union is the bigger and richer of the 2 codes, but has only been a Bie ass card shirt sport since 1995. Rugby tends to have smaller teams in terms of catchment area. There are 33 teams in the top flights of British and French Rugby Union compared to 32 in the NFL.
